Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Epidemiological and Statistical Methods for Clinical Research”, will focus on presenting the latest advancements in epidemiological and statistical methodologies tailored for clinical research. We encourage all authors to submit articles related to a wide range of methodologies, including novel study designs, advanced statistical techniques, causal inference methods, meta-analysis and systematic review methods, strategies for addressing bias and confounding in observational studies, the development and validation of prediction models, and methodological challenges and solutions in specific areas of clinical research. Articles will be considered for publication in this Special Issue only if they are relevant to our clinical research. Contributions will be part of an ongoing dialogue on methodological advances in clinical research and facilitate the translation of research findings into improved outcomes for patients.
